"The Department of Defence is awaiting formal guidance from the White House as a follow-up to the Commander-inChief's announcement on military service by transgender personnel", Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Dana W White said in a statement. "We will provide detailed guidance to the Department in the near future for how this policy change will be implemented".

In an interview with The Christian Post, Moore maintained that Trump's decision to rescind the Obama-era military policy had more to do with his discussions with military personnel than the influence of conservative evangelical leaders.

The (president's) statement was unclear.

"Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving", Sen.

He called Trump's announcement "yet another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter". When the question of whether the military's interests trump all is put squarely to Americans, they split down the middle - although no doubt some question Trump's premise that trans soldiers necessarily cause "disruption" and "tremendous" costs to begin with. The defense secretary less than one month ago told the military service chiefs to spend another six months weighing the costs and benefits of allowing transgender individuals to enlist. People on the Left and Right need to come terms with the fact that Trump's announcement came in Tweets.

President Trump was anxious about the transgender medical care issue that could endanger security spending measures which also contains $1.6 billion for the border wall that he has advocated.Opposition to transgender members questioned the psychological fitness of the troops. Reuters is focused on the service member's desire to serve; Rasmussen is focused on the military's interest in fielding a cohesive force.

Trump's stated goal is to prevent disorder among the ranks. In this case voters were asked whether they agreed with Trump's statement on Twitter that "our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and can not be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail".

Other student organizations like CUAllies, a campus advocacy group for equal representation and treatment of LGBTQ students at Catholic University, were also in attendance and brought speakers to the event.

He's banning transgender people from the military.

This is not about cost.

Military readiness is not a heterosexual cisgender calling. Others chanted slogans like "When trans people are under attack, what do we do?"

Evangelical author and public relations consultant Johnnie Moore, who was present at the meeting, said the policy on transgender people serving in the military had not been on the agenda for the meeting, but it was one of many topics that came out throughout the day.
